Enigma is a puzzle game inspired by Oxyd on the Atari ST and
Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga. The object of the game is to find uncover
pairs of identically colored Oxyd stones. Simple? Yes. Easy?
Certainly not! Hidden traps, vast mazes, laser beams, and, most of
all, countless hairy puzzles usually block your direct way to the
Oxyd stones … If you are new to Enigma, you may want to take a look
at a few screenshots or
peek at the user manual.

Enigma is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and most flavors of
Linux and other modern Unices.

December 20th 2014: Enigma 1.21 Released NEW!

With Enigma 1.21, we concentrated us on adding further translations
to Enigma (Croatian, Czech, Danish, Scottish-Gaelic, and Slovak)
and updating the existing ones. We fixed lots of bugs
and added 51 new Enigma levels from long friends and new authors
likewise. Finally, Sidney found a way to compile Enigma for
Mac, and thus we are particularly happy that Enigma returns
to Mac!

Our thanks go to our translators for their immense work,
and in particular to Michał Trzebiatowski, who introduced
us to Transifex and organized this impressive success!

Enigma would be nothing were it not for its levels. And
therefore, our greatest thanks go out to all our level authors
for their fantastic works!

We thank Sidney for his success in compiling Enigma for
Mac again. We thank Ronald for the new API. And we thank
Daniel for this wonderful game we have the pleasure to
work with.

Finally, we want to thank you, as a player, for encouraging
us time and time again to continue this project. There are
so many open-source games with many, many more players
then Enigma, which started out good but stopped in the
middle of becoming great. We are glad that this did not
happen to Enigma. And this is last but not least due to
the interest in Enigma you actively show.

Thank you for that. And have fun!

Andreas, Raoul, Nobby, and Thomas

March 29 2014: The Score Evaluation Is Back. NEW!

After a longer break we can offer again a score evaluation. In the beginning of Mai
2014 we'll provide up-to-date statistics and a new ratings file on the enigma homepage.

Unfortunately we have no access to scores submitted in the past therefore we have to
start from scratch.

a new API, involving a reengineering of many objects, a consistent naming scheme
for all objects, and a rewrite of almost every level,

a vast number of new objects, like wires, barriers, and yinyang-stones,

many improved images for higher resolutions, including new coins,

level music (go to options menu to activate it),

and many improvements and bug fixes.

You can find Enigma 1.20 for Windows and Linux in our
download section. Unfortunately,
we cannot yet offer a version for OS X, this will be our
next goal.

Our thanks go to our team of developers and all our level
authors, to Clifford Tasner for the new music, to Nobby
and Thomas for their great levels, feedback, level organisation,
the Enigma movies, and for always pressing us to finally
release version 1.20. However, there would be rather a 1.02
than a 1.20, wasn't it for the work of a single man, who,
single-handedly, invented and realized the new API, the
face of Enigma as it is today: Ronald Lamprecht's commitment
to Enigma cannot be appreciated high enough. We hope to
have him back soon, and, until then, that we can live up
to his visions for this wonderful game.

Have fun!

Raoul Bourquin and Andreas Lochmann
